The Ferrari 365 GTB/4, unofficially known as the Daytona, debuted at the 1968 Paris Auto Salon. It was Ferrari's powerful answer to the Lamborghini Miura, boasting a front-mounted 4.4-liter Colombo V12 that produced 352 horsepower. Its 174 mph top speed made it one of the fastest production cars in the world, and it represents the last of the great front-engine, two-seat flagship V12s before Ferrari shifted to a mid-engine layout.
Collectors prize the Daytona for its iconic Pininfarina design, thrilling performance, and historical significance. While just over 1,400 cars were built, the 122 factory-original Spiders (GTS/4) are the most coveted and command prices many times that of their coupe (GTB/4) counterparts. Many coupes were converted to Spiders over the years, but these are valued far lower than genuine factory cars.
The market for Daytonas is mature, with an average sale price of $539,190 reflecting a market dominated by coupe sales. Values vary dramatically based on condition, originality, and provenance. A car's history and documentation, including Ferrari Classiche certification, have a massive impact on its final selling price.
Buying Tips
- Insist on a pre-purchase inspection by a marque expert to verify matching numbers for the engine, gearbox, and chassis.
- A Ferrari Classiche certification is the gold standard for authentication and adds significant value.
- Scrutinize the car's body for rust or shoddy repairs, particularly in the floor pans and sills. Panel gaps should be consistent.
- Be extremely cautious with Spiders. Many are converted coupes, which are worth a fraction of a genuine GTS/4. Verify the chassis number and provenance to confirm its authenticity.
- Demand a complete and detailed service history. The V12 engine is expensive to rebuild, and proof of maintenance by reputable specialists is crucial.
